Configuration Bundles
Configuration bundles allow administrators to copy setup and configuration settings from one account to another. NetSuite vertical solution providers and independent software vendors (ISVs) can use configuration bundles to automate the setup and configuration of a customer account. The supported settings include company preferences, accounting lists, customer relationship management lists, record names, and transaction names. A configuration bundle can also enable or disable features in target accounts.
Note that you cannot include data, such as a chart of accounts, in a configuration bundle. If an object that you install as part of a bundle requires data, then you must import the required data separately from the bundle.
You should install configuration bundles immediately after provisioning an account. This ensures that you do not overwrite existing production account settings. If your solution requires specific setup and configuration parameters that you plan to roll out to existing customers, be sure to work with each account administrator on an impact analysis prior to installing the bundle.

If a configuration bundle includes any settings that are inactive in the source account for the bundle, these settings are not installed in bundle target accounts.
Configuration bundles cannot be managed bundles.
